One drop of rain in Karachi and the entire city shuts down.
It rained in Karachi last night and of course, as usual, the residents of the city were over the moon, since Karachiites are always praying for it to rain but it seldom does rain in the sea-side city.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And of course, as rare and happily expected rain is, as soon as the first drop hits, the ground the entire city’s electricity goes haywire. It’s like the unspoken rule. And as a result, the entire city was immersed in several hours of no electricity.
Returning from #Lahore, light rain in #Karachi was a good welcome, yesterday. But what followed was a complete electricity failure, courtesy @KElectricPk – #KarachiRain pic.twitter.com/qVWID6a8gT

Everyone was utterly pissed at K-Electric for ruining rain for them
Only few drops of rain in Karachi but half of the city went into darkness. After years of experience with the city's weather and other conditions why has @KElectric
not comeup with workable solutions for rain related electricity? It simply shows incompetency of #KE— Abdullah (@Chrprofessional) July 23, 2019
Some people made really dark comparisons which made total sense.
karachi’s relationship w rain is literally like that one toxic friend you can’t let go of. you secretly pray for them and in return they fill your life w darkness <3

But people were incredibly angry about the prolonged power outage in several areas of Karachi, and complained on Twitter to K-Electric as well as the government. People want solutions for the future since the entire city is tired of being submerged into darkness on the first hint of rain.
Worst electricity situation in #Karachi after few drops of rain & there is no authority to look after @KElectricPk affairs. As always NEPRA is silent spectator on K-E’s incompetence and always coverup their wrongdoings. I request @OmarAyubKhan & @MuradAliShahPPP to take notice.

Okay serious question. So #KElectric is privatised. So no one is going to hold it accountable? No check and balance will be carried out? Federal Govt can’t do anything?

And honestly, in this weather, where even with the rain, there is no reprieve from the heat, it is only fair that Karachiites get this pissed. They shouldn’t have to pick between rain and electricity.
What do you think of everyone’s outrage over the electricity outage? Let us know in the comments below.
